thanks! they mua at GA put the foundation on my face and some different face stuff like the fluid sheers and blushes. i wanted the other face stuff, but it's freakin EXPENSIVE! $40 for a BLUSH! yikes! at the end of the day, my makeup looked a little weird. i think part of it is because my skin is dry and flakey and foundation looks weird on flakey skin. so it was giving me a maskey look also, which i don't like. plus, i don't think all of my previous foundation came off when she was doing it, so it was prolly caked on it.
i'll sell it trisha or someone on here if i don't like it. lol!

i tried it on my mom yesterday when i did her makeup and it looked nice and looked like it held up well though.

 
Wow Liz, fantastic haul! You know how to shop girl!

Great haul---those stila shadows are gorgeous and saddle is intriguing.

My heart hopped in my mouth when you said your sister lost the bags----thank goodness you got them back.

 
Liz, that was definitely an adventure! Sounds like fun except for the lost bags. So glad you got them back.

I'm freaking tired and my shoes are hurting, so I finaly hail a cab, which I've NEVER done before. So I was kind of scared

I met up with my sis and her kids and went shopping around Union Square. Went to a bunch of shops. Then we walked over to China Town to have lunch. I was actually surprised that I wasn't tired from walking! lol!

After lunch I had my sis take some of my bags cause she had to leave and I wanted to walk around and not carry any bags.

I knew the address to the MAC Pro store, (1833 Union St.) and it looked like the street it wasn't too far and was like, "OK, I can try this." So I get to Union St. and I'm at the 500 block!! So I try walking down the street and get to the 800 block. The hills start and I think I make it up 2.

I get there, and I thought it was going to be this big store with all of this stuff. It looked alright. It was cute though.

I was worried about getting abck to Union Square and it took FOREVER for me to get a cab. There either wasn't any or people were taking the ones that did come.

I finally found one and made it back to Union Square. And went to Saks.

My sister was blowing up my phone. But I was at the Armani counter, so I couldn't answer it. When I finally finish, she calls me back and tells me that she lost the bags that I bought!!!!

It was like $200 something worth of makeup!!!! She left it at the counter of the parking garage when she was paying for the garage ticket. I had to go back there and get it. Thank god it wasn't stolen or something.

Then later that night I went back to the big Nordstrom's store and went to the Next at MAC seminar thing. That was fun. Got to learn about some new stuff and got that free gift with the MAC can and notepad thing. That's where I got the 222 and 239 brush and the wipes and fix+ spray.

Finally left at night. Then stopped at a CCO on the way back home today and picked up 109, 216. 231, and 236 brushes for a total of around $50.

whew. thanks for reading this if you did! lol!!!

 
yeah, i returned it before. i didn't like the texture, but i'm gonna give it another shot

it's a pretty color and i don't have to think about what to match with my blush/other makeup. lol
